The fans at Hill Auditorium on Saturday night were the "fortunate ones" when the Indigo Girls played. Indigo Girls send no one home blue By JENNIFER BUCKLEY "We are fortunate ones, fortunate ones, I swear," harmonized Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Saliers during their two-hour set on Saturday night. Judging from their reaction, the devoted crowd at Hill Auditorium Indio Gi certainly agreed !go Wri S with them. Sing- Hill Auditorium ing along to the October 8, 1994 Girls' melodic folk-rock, danc- ing during the slow songs, the mostly female audience left the show and walked out singing in the pouring rain. Opening acts Shawn Mullins (sensitive-male acoustic folk) and Atlanta's Band de Soleil (gospel- and country- tinged rock 'n' roll, Maria McKee style) were met with polite, and sometimes enthusiastic, applause, but the Girls themselves were the main attraction. They didn't disap- point. Reaching deep into their five-album repertoire of perfect pop songs, Saliers and Ray played without a band, relying on the near-telepathic musical connection the two have built since they began playing small Georgia clubs as teenagers. Ray's gravelly alto perfectly balanced Saliers' sweet, soaring soprano and the two shone on the opener "Wood Song" from their latest effort, "Swamp Ophelia." Ray's impassioned, I'm-gonna-break-a-string-any- second-now guitar work powered the duo through the grave "Fugitive," "Center Stage" and "Welcome Me." Saliers' intricate picking brought her distinctive, softer touch into the spotlight in the lovely "Power 'of Two" and "Language or the Kiss." Ray absolutely rocked out on "Joking" from the pair's breakthrough LP "Rites of Pas- sage," and Emily's beautiful vocal on "Love Will Come to You" perfectly displayed her talent for simple, lovely melody. Throughout the concert, the two complemented each other, making sure the crowd knew who wrote each song. Careful to differentiate themselves from one another, the Girls were nevertheless at their best while harmonizing - Amy's gritty low notes with Emily's strong high ones; Ray's aggressiveness with Saliers' calming presence. The two played this cohesiveness to perfection on "Prince of Darkness" and the exuberant encore sing-along "Closer to Fine" (both from their self-titled debut). Amy reached her peak during an eerie, angry rendition of "Touch Me Fall," the only song during which the Girls played electric guitars. In the middle of her intense guitar solo, Ray burst into shouts of "We will not be complacent!" in the show's one openly political moment. On Saturday night, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers lived up to their lyrics beautifully, "standing at opposite poles, equal partners in a mystery." RECORDS Continued from page 11 It's going to hurt to see "Easy Come, Easy Go" deemed a failure in the long run, but that will inevitably happen. All we'll be able to do is stand helplessly (and for most of us, with little interest) as Joe Public fades away - probably never to return. - Eugene Bowen may have been "rehabilitated" by the Catholic Church, but he can't play College Bowl because he's dead. Even if he could, he would never get questions like this! "In his record two-hour inaugural address, he pledged to serve only four years as President. He fell short of keeping that pledge by three years and eleven months. For 10 points - name him." The Student Organization Accounts Service (SOAS) is presenting workshops to assist officers and members of student organizations in learning more about policies, procedures and the unique services SOAS offers. Some of the areas that will be highlighted are: Opening and Renewing Accounts, Depositing Funds, Withdrawing Funds, Tax Information, and Understanding your Financial Statement. might have been able to get that one, but he's dead too, so he can't play College Bowl either. That deprives him of the opportunity to answer questions like this: "It celebrates the 1925 delivery of diphtheria serum to Nome, Alaska. For 10 points - name this annual dogsled race whose winners include four-time champion Susan Butcher." 1' The workshops will convene this month on: Wednesday, October 12, 1994 - Rm. 1209, Michigan Union Wednesday, October 19, 1994 - Rm. 1209, Michigan Union 5:30pm - 7:30pm If you have any questions, please feel free to call our office at 763-5767.
